Another CheckList wanted Forums

Jeffus

It's me again, quite some time back (in one of the mags) I read a letter from someone who had come a cropper on "move off" so had devised a check list that he/she kept at the side of the dash. It (I think) made a word to remind them to check thing off before moving off site. You know the sort of thing . . unplug electric . . close skylights . . retract rear steadies, etc. Anybody got any tricks of the trade to pass on to this raw recruit? Cheers, Jeffus. Cool

checklist wouldn't be a bad idea.... we've pulled off and at the first good bend ejected the contents of the fridge or the cutlery drawer Laughing

so much to remember

I also have a bad habit of forgetting to put the hand brake on

Hi there Jeffus,
I printed and laminated a checklist based on the same (probably) article, and very useful it's been too. One thing I added was to remove the boiler vent cover that I use whilst parked at home. Although it clicks on, I wouldn't trust it to stay in place whilst driving and it's easy to forget about it when you're ready for off.

There you go andy that's just the sort of thing I DON'T want to do. I'm brand new to this and I'm hoping you "old timers" (with great respect) will guide me in the right direction to carry the Motorhomer mantle with distinction.

Chris, can you either give me the words here (on the forums) or PM me with the words? One of the other "must do's" was retract TV ariel (before a tree does it for you). Laughing

Jeffus

Sorry Dave, as I said earlier, the download don't work. Incompatable operating systems . . the download comes down as junk. Thanks anyway Jeffus. Confused

Jeffus,

Slightly off thread but...

We have a small sticker in the top of the windscreen with the van height (in mtrs & ft/ins). Handy as a double check when going under fuel station canopies etc.

Excellent Pete, great idea [i:efd2e4d0a6](scribbling it down on piece of paper)[/i:efd2e4d0a6] that's just the type of thing that would help me keep the roof of the van attached to the walls. I read somewhere that you can buy a glove to wear on your right hand to remind you to drive on the right hand side of the road when in Europe, personally I think a bit over the top, but it could be adapted. Cheers Pete. Jeffus. Cool

We separate the preparation jobs to be done for leaving into two.
Inside and outside.
One of us does the outside list and checks and the other the inside.
That way we know who does what (and who to blame when the system goes wrong). Sad
